A few notes:
1) If you ever ask a doctor, “Will this hurt?” and her response is, “Um, people’s reactions differ…”, brace yourself. 
2) If anyone ever wants to stick needles into your nerves/muscles, just say no!
3) In this age of cell phones, never give your doctor your home number! Although they typically have the sense to call your office phone during daytime hours, the one time you actually NEED results, they will call your home and leave a message which, of course, you will get too late to return the call. And inevitably there will be a whole weekend ahead of you before you can call back. 
4) Sometimes you just can’t do it all. I have a baby shower for a good friend to attend today and I can barely scrape myself off the couch. I also have a contract editing job to finish this weekend (couldn’t turn it down - big $$$$, but maybe I should have!). Pumpkinhead has a birthday party at 4:30 for one of his classmates and we still don’t have a present. I really just want to head back to bed and my poor legs have absolutely no desire to drive anywhere. 
I know, whine, whine, whine. Just stop reading my blog already. It’s depressing.
5) Pumpkinhead brought me a piece of paper and said, “Look, Mommy, I wrote ‘trampoline.’” The paper said “GALT.” He’s so smart! The brand of trampoline he has is a GALT nursery trampoline. It’s awesome for indoor exercise but the stupid screws keep falling out of one side. It has a little silver tube that holds the pieces together. I can’t really explain it, but when the screws fall out, the tube falls down into the pipe. I’ve replaced it twice today. I am so going to get Super Glue and permanently affix those suckers. Grrr.
